Plot: Red recalls that he tried to make an anniversary dinner for Bernice, but he nearly burned down the house doing it. So instead, they went out to see a movie, but Red doesn't think much of the movie he saw. He decides then and there to make a movie of his own. Soon, Red's movie idea starts taking shape. Harold offers to make the script for Red's movie, but Red declines, saying he has the movie planned himself and calling it "The Red Green Story".
